The Founded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its research, instructional and public service missions. Its internationally-acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the campus totals about 42,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 31,474. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,700. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and contracts awarded to its faculty. In 2002, the most recent year for which these data have been collected, the UW ranked second overall and first among public universities. Total grant and contract activity for 2004 exceeded $950 million. More than 75 percent of the university’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library system that is among the nation's most extensive, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. UW Libraries received the 2004 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award from the Association of College and Research Libraries, the highest honor a library in North America can receive.

Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong economic impact on Washington and the Pacific Northwest. With about 25,500 employees, Washington is the second-largest employer in King County. Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpatient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new business to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well-educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways. The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 643 acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majestic Cascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympics loom to the west, while the southern view includes downtown Seattle and Lake Union. The combination of this spectacular setting with buildings in both neo-Gothic and modern styles gives the campus a distinctive aura.
